The North Texas Outdoor Expo is the region’s first of its kind in terms of size and diversity of activities. The expo will be divided into eight “villages,” a fitness village, bike madness village, target village, nature’s village, archery village, dog village, water village and fishing village. Each village, in turn, will feature several activities and exhibits, adding up to more than 50 distinct attractions. Children can experience a wide range of activities, and all are free for kids.

The expo will be held at the Elm Fork Shooting Sports complex at 10751 Luna Rd. in Dallas from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. The shooting range will be closed during the event, except for the area where the target shooting activities will be held. The 500-acre property lies along the Trinity River just west of downtown, with wooded areas and multiple ponds, providing a rare natural landscape in an urban setting.

The event is free for children ages 17 and under, with a $5 admission charge for adults and a $5 charge for parking. More information about the expo can be found on the Start Caring Wellness Web site and Facebook page.
